Good. I didn’t care for season 3 when I watched it, but then I watched season 4. I can see where they’re planning to go in season 5, and how season 3 is a dull but necessary part of the buildup. I think season 3 really killed a lot of momentum, and thus a lot of the hype, but I’m very willing to give season 5 the chance to bring it all together.
Season 3 made season 4 harder to watch. Season 4 was better than 3 but it also felt kind of… I’m not quite sure the right word. Diluted? Or maybe the other direction as a Flanderization?
Most of my issues were the pacing and the attempt at making the show feel heavy, but it ended up not quite hitting the marks for me.
